Bob: I made one to allow it to reach around the back of the desk and then underneath to the keyboard tray, so the K-Pod is right next to my computer mouse--very handy.
Make sure you get the wiring correct, as W3PFR points out, pin 1 must not be connected, else you may get some "interesting" results. I ordered a 6P6C cable, cut off one end, then crimped on my own connector with the pin 1 wire cut back and therefore disconnected. If you do this, be sure to mark the cable ends, as noted in the K-Pod manual: *"If you disconnect the wire at only one end, be sure that end is plugged into your K3S or K3."* (p. 19) --- Chuck Milam, N9KY [email protected] On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 8:16 AM, Bob Novas <[email protected]> wrote: > Can I just makeup a 4 wire cable that is longer than the cable supplied > with > the K-Pod?
